Take on Take

The crooks at race tracks .. They take a percentage of the total handle
to cover cost and enhance purses. This sealing gives you a better product with bigger fields So you can make bigger profits.

Think about this You go to a casino you go to the black jack table
the dealer gets 21 all five people you bet with lose " You lose good day sir"
You go to the roulette wheel, there are 45 other players at the table you all play a number but what happens 00 comes up you all lose "You lose good day sir"
So you go to the slots and you just miss. You can see the third bar that
would have got you a nice win but sorry you lose "You lose good day sir"
Enough you go to the Race Book you play the pick 6 at Philly or PARX and you win the first two races but you lose race 3 .. But Sir
hold that ticket The nice folks in racing will Pay 5 out of 6.
You lose the next race . But wait Its a big long shot maybe nobody had it
The nice people at the track will pay you 4 out of 6. You figure that probably won't happen but you stick the ticket back in your pocket.
You watch the next two races while you wait for your ride home to show up.
Two more longshots win What is the payout? .. Nobody had 6/6
Did the track take all the money NO . Nobody had 5/6. Did the track take the money. NO nobody had 4 or 3 but some had 2 of 6 They lost 4 out of 6 races
but they did have the skill to win two of them so the track will pay them
money and they even carry over the rest of the total minus there cost part
And they give back the money to give you another chance tomorrow
sound like they are nice people to me

Philly Pick 6 pays 2/6 today

just remember bill.....there is strategy in BL where one can win......just remember bill.... find the single "0" roulette table and your chances increase.
(monte carlo and MGM have them) and ....when one plays the odds behind the pass line in craps the house advantage percent drops to .9, lowest of all games
(but one still has an "edge" at the track)
